Fire In the New England Depot at
Hartford.

Yesterday morning fire broke out in the
New England depot at Hartford. The fire
was confined to the north end of the build
ing and considerable damage was done before
the fire was under control. The entire stock
of Richard Dillon, proprietor of the restau-
rant, with fixtures was entirely destroyed
The baggage and mail matter in the building
was saved. The loss to the depot is about
1000. The fire was probably caused by the
draft to the stove being left open

Cost of the White House.

Many people believe that the $4,000
a year which the President gets as his
salary is the sum total. This is mis-
take. The estimate of the amount
which Congress is to appropriate this
year lies before us, open at the page re-
lating to the President. We see that
SS6, ,OG4 is asked for him in addition to
his salary of $50, 900, to pay the sala-
ries of his subordinates and clerks.
His Private Secretary is paid $3.50,
his Assistant Private Secretary S2,25O,
his stenographer $500, five messen-
gers each 81 200, steward 81 900, two
door-keepers who each get 81 900, four
other clerks at good salaries, one tele-
graph operator, two ushers getting ST.
200 and 81 400, a night usher getting
81 200, a watchman who gets 5000, and
a man who takes care of fires who re-
ceives SSG4 year. In addition to this,
there is set down IS, 600 for incidental
expenses, such us stationary, carpets,
and the care of the Presidents stable.
And further on, under another head
ing, there is a demand for nearly $40,-
600 more. OF this $12,500 are for re-
pairs and furnishing the White House,
s., 500 for fuel, $4,000 is for the green
house, and 81, POO is for gas, matches
and the stables. The White House,
all told, costs the country, in connec-
ton with the President, considerably
over Sl25, 900 a year.

Rec0nciled to thy Brother.

My worthy grandfather was man
of keen feelings, and of warm heart,
but easily excited to wrath. He had a
brother whom he dearly loved: One
day they fell into dispute, and each
returned to his home in anger. inns
happened on Il Friday. AS the eve
ming drew near, my good grandmoth-
er. who was another Martha, full OF ac-
tivity, began to make preparation for
the Sabbath. Come dear Joseph" !"
she exclaimed, "the night is approach
ing; come and light the Sabbath
lampr But he, full of sadness and
anguish, continued walking up and
down the room. His good wife spoke
again in anxiety, "Sce, the stars are
already shining in the armament OF
the Lord, aud our Sabbath lamp is not
vet lighted" Then my grandfather
took his hat, and evidently much
troubled hastcned out of the house:
But in q few moments he returned
with tears of JOY in his eyes. Nov,
dear Rebecca," he exclaimed, "now |
am ready" He repeated his prayer
and with gladness lighted the Sabbath
lamp. Then he related the dispute
which had occurred in the morning,
adding, II could not pray and light
nv lamp before becoming reconciled
with my brother Isaac" "But how
did you manage to do it so soon n?''
"Oh," he replied, "Isaac had been as
much troubled as / was he could not
begin the Sabbath either without be-
coming reconciled with me. So we
met in the street; he was coming to
me, and I was going to him, and we
ran into each others arms and wept."

In how many churches do the
young men and maidens, old men
and children" make it part of their
business in the sanctuary to sing the
praises Of God? Practice varies. In
one church, a voluntary by the choir,
perhaps in operate style. artistic and
cold, takes the place of an opening
hymn, poorly preparing the listening
audience for the Scripture lessons and
the prayers. Perhaps the congrega-
ton is allowed TO unite in singing one
of the hymns of the service; but ifso,
it is the sum total Of the part borne by
them in the worship of the hour. 1t
is a sad and cherries spectacle kind
ling no enthusiasm and warming no
souls. Sadder and colder is what we
sometimes find in our sanctuaries, a
service in which the minister at one
end of the house and quartet at the
other are the only persons who pre-
sumo to use their voices in the house
of God.-MusicaiH Herald.

Nearer than my own self to me;
Nothing is real without Thee.
Thou tillest my beings hidden springs:
Thou givcSt my wishes hcavenward wings:
live thy life, breathe thy breath,
And In thy presence is no death!
However early in the morning YOU
seek the gate of access you find it al
ready open; and however deep the
midnight hour when you find yourself
In the sudden arms Of death, the
winged prayer can bring an instant
Saviour near.
There ever was, and is, most sweet
teachings of the Spirit and the tcsti-
mony of the Holy Scriptures; and
there is 10 Inconsistency or contradic-
ton between them.
People who are always in high spir-
its soon wear out, says q physician.
1t may be, but people who are always
low-spirited wear other people out.
Our sentiments, our thoughts, our
words lose their rectitude on entering
certain minds, just as sticks plunged
in the water look bent.
"Sincerity is speaking as we think,
believing as we pretend, acting as we
profess, performing rs we promise, and
being as we appear"
Reflect upon your present blessings
of which every man has many, not of
your past misfortune, of which all
men have some.
He is happy whose circumstances
suit his temper; but he is more excel
lent who can suit his temper by any
circumstance.
Take the hours of reflection or recre-
alton after business, and never before
it.
Unless the habit leads to happiness,
the best habit is to contract none.
No one should laugh at men but him
who right heartily loves him.

70 worship Thee with one accord,
And pray, according to Thy word,

On Thee, when at Thy feet we i;lll;
Or whether in our hearts
We entertain debascd desires,

While yet we know Thy word requires
Truth in the inward parts.
Give us the "faith that works by ioFc'
Affections fixed on things above,
That we may all the fullncSs prove

Fifty years ago seven humble shoe
makers in shop at Hamburg under
took the work of evangelization on the
principle of individual responsibility:
In twenty years they had organized
fifty churches. gathered ten thousand
converts, distributed four hundred
thousand Bibles and eight million
pages of tracts, and preached the Cos
rel to fifty millions of people. AS
they went from place to place the
work grew, and new converts inspired
with similar zeal became helpers, SO
that population as great as that of
the United States or the Congo Free
State heard the Gospel within those
twenty years. If any are distrustful
of mere arithmetic as applied to the
problem of missions, here is practi-
cal proof that il IS perfectly feasible so
to organize the work as to reach q hun
dred millions of people every year,
and that, too, with only an insignlti-
can't Gideon's band.

The Baptism Of Fire.

Suppose we saw an army sitting
down before a granite fortress, and
thew told us they intended to batter 1t
down. We might ask them, "HOw -
'rhey point us to a cannonball. Well,
but there is no power in that ! 1T Is
heavy, but not more than hundred
weight. If all the men in the army
were to throw it, that would make no
impression. They say. NO." but
look at the cannon. Well, but there
is no power in that; it is a machine,
and nothing more. But look at the
powder! Well, there is no power III
that; a child may spill it; sparrow
NAV pick it up. Yet this powerless
poWder and this powerless ball are put
into this powerless cannon; one spark
of fire enters it, and, then, in the
twinkling of an eye, that powder is q
flash of lightning, and that cannon
ball is a thunder-bolt which smlres as
if it had been sent from heaven. So
it is with our Church machiner. oi

Roger r. Pryor and the Dynamiters,
and Sustained tue sovereign right of
the State of Illinois to try and
punish criminols for the violations
of State laws, when those laws do
not come in conf ct with the con-
st!tutiOl of the United States. The
court was unanimous in It's decision
aud spoke very lightly if not CON
temptuously of the points raised by
council in favor of the Federal Jurls-
diction Of the cOnrt in behalf of the
criminals, The Anarchists must
hang, unless the governor of Illinois
shall conceive it to be his duty to
save their necks by committing the
death sentence TO Imprisonment for
life. This he will hardly do. We
are very greatly mortified, that j..
Randolph Tucker, one of our favor
ties, and statesright Democrat, and
strict constructlonist should>
have received a fee and made an
argument to the court, claiming the
constitutional right of the court to
assume Jurisdiction in the matter.
We never have believed and we do
not now believe that a lawyer is
justified in contending against prin
ciple and Justice. and in attempting
to overthrow the great principles
which he at heart believes in. We
